LOGAN. o. February Z, 1887.

I'D. SENTINEL-Mr. Cresap was
elected to the City Council by
the Democrats of the Fourth
Ward TO look after theirlnterests
and to carry ou, their wishes
The members elect in the other
wards, without an exception,
have been faithful to their trust.
With a majority in the Fourth
Ward against Local Option great
.er than that which placed him in
the Council, ought he not to have
complied with their expressed
wishes. or done like his son in
the Band, "petered out when
his individual ideas were not car.
a1ed outs Again, has the ordi-
nance in regard to curbing and
paving in the Fourth Ward been
enforcedf Please call Daniel 10
Judgment.
FOURTH WARD.
In replying to Fourth Ward
who is man of prominence and
intelligence, the Sentinel will
say: Col. Cresap was elected as
a Democrat. He has not failed.
as far as we know. 10 maintain
by his vote and publicly avowed
sentiments, his integrity as a
Democrat. Local Option, like
the location of mill, or The i'm
provement of a street, is not
political issue, until the parties
by convention or committees
make it so. In face of the fact
that The Republican leaders Of
Logan were the leaders of the
opposition 10 local option, should
show 10 the wayfaring man, tho
Democrat. that onr party is not
to be approved or condemned for
The course any of its Democratic
Coun cilmen- saw lit TO follow.
Temperance is a cardinal.
christian virtue, and a fundamen-
tai principle of the Democratic
party. Sumptuary legislation is
anti christian and anti ti-Demo-
cratic, and until our party IN
convention defines what Local
Option is-a Temperance move
ment" or "Sumptuary senti-
ment." Col. Cresap and all other
Democrats have the Democratic
right TO act on their individual
Judgment, subject, of course, 10
criticism by their constituents.
When Fourth Ward" sees
such distinguished Republican
leaders as Col. Rempel, the fore
most man of the party; Capt.
Dave Miller, Republican Super
intendent Of the Canal ; Andy
Mckinney, Boss of State Boat;

Democrats as our most inveterate
foes, Ga crowd we don't politically
train with leading the opposl-
ton to Local Option, it suggests
to US as Democrats, the legend of
the Wooden Horse, which the
Trojans took Ento their city.
We have been warned 10 "be-
ware Of Greeks bearing gifts. -
Local Option, in our opinion, is a
delusion. We don't approve the
plan, seeking TO sustain virtue
But at the same time We don't !
want it 20 be unloaded on is as
party measure, when the wheel
horses, the party Pecherons, or
Tuesday of last week, were Re
publicans.
As far as young Cresap's con-
duct, refusing TO play in the
Band for an anti Local Option
meeting, is concerned, we have
only this TO say-he exercised
"personai liberty" a something
we have heard something about
from "acress The Rhine
His conscience is sale direc-
for, so far rs his individual re-
sponsibility is concerned. We
might criiicise his judgment; we
should not harshly censure his !,

What conscience dictates TO be done,
or warns me not to do;
This lead me more than Hell 70 shun,
